of republicans who realize that this next year is going to be really big. the law gist cal challenges that the obama administration will face in setting this up almost guarantees there is going to be convulsion and all kinds of problems. i think republicans see this as an opportunities to maybe point out some of the things they have been warning about. unfortunately the americans are going to have to experience it firsthand. >> not only are they going to witness it firsthand, what you are seeing here, franklin roosevelt created the regulatory state in the united states. it is this big social program that has gone forward. barack obama is the heir to the roosevelt legacy. and honestly, paul, if you what we are talking about, i think we are beginning to see the implosion of the administrative state. it is simply collapsing under its shear and unsupportable weight. it is going to be ugly and it will begin with obamacare. >> and joe, the i'm plaw men station you are -- the implementation is not going well. >> b no, it isn't. ithi is essentially a catastrophe. >> even democratic governors

. cal, cooksville, tennessee, independent caller. go ahead, cal. caller: yeah. about gun control. the mother of the mentally ill boy didn't control her guns. she has a mentally ill child, takes him out, according to the reports on tv, took him out and then taught him how to shoot these rifles and pistols and then left these guns available for him to use if he wanted to and that's where the gun control should have been with her like the other gentlemen said who got a couple of -- gentleman said who got a couple of calls back. and then he came to the school and shot up in the door and bust out the glass and everything. and he was -- boy, he had all the protection, you know, that he needed, but the principal didn't have any protection. if she would have had a gun she knew that somebody was coming in because she heard the shots. she knew that. and she was helpless. she didn't have a gun. if she had a gun, she very well may have stopped this guy, knowing that he had a gun, probably would have shot him and saved all these kids lives. host: all right, cal, we're going to talk about gun

van jones and raid cal ideas. that is just who they are. >> we're not going to balance the budget until your side cuts it out z if people like you, i think you're a reasonable person. but you feel compulsion to come on this program and defend this, treasonus. treacherous. >> van jones is one man who can speak. he does not speak for the entire left and entire democratic party. he's one man. i applaud his passion. >> sean: applaud his passion of calling me treasonus? >> he uses words i would use? no. but he has -- . >> sean: it's a weak way of dodging responsibility. the country never going get out of the battle until people like you start speaking up, but we've got to go. thank you. >> thank you. >> sean: why is nbc so committed to dividing the country along racial lines? and president obama warns syrian president assad not to cross the red line and make chemical weapon ons. we know they did, so how is our commander in chief going to respond? and what about radio hosts in australia? should they be fired? next. %. mmmm tasty. and cut! very good. people are always asking me how we ma

for all of their cal calls, that's less than 2% increase from previous years. the older generation is slower to make the switch. >>> patrick democracy might play a doctor on television but he's doing some economic cpr in real life. the ""grey's anatomy" start" trying to rescue a coffee shop chain in seattle. they're hoping to save about 500 jobs. democracy said he within as to give back to the city and play a bigger role in the community. how about that. good for him. >> a lot of competition in seattle for coffee shops. >> that's right. >>> spy games between americans and north koreans and how one move caught the u.s. completely off guard. >>> and the florida teens who took a page out of bruce springste springsteen's play book, taking the stage to help after hurricane sandy. >>> if you're leaving the house, watch us on your desk top or mobile phone, go to cnn.com/tv. you can spot an amateur from a mile away... while going shoeless and metal-free in seconds. and you...rent from national. because only national lets you choose any car in the aisle...and go. you can even take a full-si

. they thought they were just playing a harmless joke, and look what happened. >> so is this tape cal of their radio station? do they normally pull pranks or the first time they've done something like in. >> this sort of thing does happen around the world, but this particular radio station has been known for years to do stupid things and cruel things in some cases. there was a memorable one of a girl who had just done her final exams in high school and was named as the top student in the state. so they call her up and pretend -- not these guys but someone else from the radio station. they're from the board of education and said there was a mistake and she did badly. they had one girl on and put her on a lie detector 14 years old and asked about her sex life. she gets raem upset and turns out she was raped at 12. this sort of thing, object seven at this times and they had a porn star on one sometime. another one is carl sanderson, controversial on the radio station. a female journalist wrote a negative story about her, and et cetera esd he was going to get her. >> what happens to the r

to those folk0s to say we need you to communicate to other voters using our cal call tool and our text-messaging system, and say, you tell us how the locations are changing because we have to figure out from you where they are, and you tell us the new laws and we'll make sure we communicate that to our voters and volunteers to help communicate it to our voters. but there's no sill silver bullet there. we would have done everything we could and would have probably had the same issues you had. our offices would have been flooded -- >> we tried these. we used reverse 9-1-1 but people had downed phone lines. so everytime you come up with a solution there was another hurt toll get over to get to that. we worked with the utility companies, gave them a list of polling places so they could prioritize where they were going to get power back on. the friday before the election we had hundred polling places without power. so they worked well with us and once we knew where polling places were not going to open we moved. that's when we started consolidating and bringing them to other locations but w

as a at the washington times. but our next call comes from cal in tennessee on our republican line. caller: the tax increases are not enough. when you look at 1 $3 trillion over 10 years -- this president over the last -- when you look at $1.30 trillion olver 10 years -- over 10 years, we have spent $4.60 trillion or $4.70 trillion every year. what we need is more cuts in programs so we actually have more. we need $4.60 trillion in cuts to programs. if we are going to be back on the fiscal plan we honestly need. this president was elected by people who were already democrats in 2008 and 2012. he did not have a hard time getting reelected. we made a mistake about electing this guy for sure. guest: the caller has a lot of good numbers. these are rough, but about $2.30 trillion in revenue. last, we only had $1 trillion in deficits. his point is correct. the problem is you have the government taking in 60% of gross domestic product in tax revenue and spending between 23% or 24% in gdp in spending. we are borrowing 40 cents on every dollar that we stand. that has to close. i mentioned the gdp figures be

cue men cal service tonight believe would will be very part of this long and difficult healing process. alex? >> something that struck me, chris, about robbie parker, the father of 6-year-old emilie, he also talked about his concern about the lanza family and how difficult this must be for them, for both peter, the father, and ryan, adam's older brother. is that a sentiment that you hear echoed in that area as well because nancy lanza was part of this community? >> you know, i think that my impression is and i don't want to pretend to speak for everyone, although i have spoken with quite a few members of this community. they are focused on the victims, but twlen is talk of adam lanza, when there is talk of his mother, nancy, i think it is remarkable that people do have a sense of already forgiveness, if i can use that word, that they understand that the other people who may be family our friends, that they are suffering as well. we did get a statement for the first time last night from adam lanza's father, offering his sympathies to all the people. and saying that he doesn't understand

in columbine and virginia tech, and it still happened. it's the most nonsensue cal distraction. >> aim a virginia tech graduate. we had armed guards and our own police force, and it still didn't stop it. >> conventional wisdom says you shouldn't have guns in your home with young children. here we talk about tons of young children in schools. bring more guns into these institutions. >> it's crazy. >> it defies logic. >> the austin american statesman, the man credited for stopping the university of texas sniper shootings has passed away. in 1966 charles whitman killed 14 people and wounded 32 more on ut's campus before he was stopped by police officer houston mccoy. mccoy passed away yesterday at the age of 72. in an interview with the paper, mccoy said he does not want what he did that day to define him. i remember that day as vividly as if it were last week. i mean, there's something truly sad about our culture that we have these tombstones of memory in our mind so horrific. we have newtown, columbine, virginia tech, charles whitman, and we had stockweather in nebraska years ago. it go

of play, moderate gun owners have become convinced by the nra and other, even moorad cal gun organizations such as gun owners of america, that the goal of all gun safety advocates is to take aware their guns. these owners view even the most reasonable gun-safety proposals with suspicion, fearing a slippery slope to a ban on firearms. this paranoia is what gives the gun lobby its power." and there really is a lot of fear among gun owners. >> well -- >> in certain areas. >> -- when you have gun organizations after barack obama is elect the first same saying they're going to take all your guns away and then they repeat it after he gets elected a second time and people rush out and start buying guns, yeah, there is that paranoia. i think mark halperin, if you're really there -- do i have mark halperin -- maybe i need to do this with everybody that i toss so. i'm going to say a name and then you go check. mark halperin. >> halperin. >> check. >> okay, i can go to him. so mark, chuck schumer, i think, goes to great lengths to tell liberals, to tell progressives, hey, listen, you're not going to

that had been accumulated has been dug out, but elect cal equipment will need to be replaced and rebuilt before we see the tens of thousands of riders who rely on this station traveling again. other than the destruction wrought by the storm itself, arguably the biggest impact of the storm was the loss of power. at the outage peak, approximately two-thirds of the state, two-thirds of the entire state was without power. ten days after the storm, 10% of the state was still without power. without power, these customers did not have heat despite temperatures in the low 40's. of the 40 new jersey deaths, about half were directly related to the loss of power, including oxygen machines that were shutting off, people falling in the dark, carbon monoxide poisoning from generators and hypothermia. fully restoring power was a herculean task requiring utility crews from as war away as oklahoma and quebec to help local line workers. and at this moment, our defenses are so low, it's like your immune system. when your immune system is depleted and at its lowest, you're most susceptible to getting ill. w
